FOR AID in preparing the present resume of Spanish music to 1530 I am indebted to so numerous a company of friends that I must content myself in this preface with no more than a token alphabetical list. In an earlier article - "Music Research in Spanish Libraries," published in Notes of the Music Library Association, sec. ser.
